Investigators are still looking for a motive.

One resident who was waiting for a bus across from the crime scene said she is concerned because the neighbor is becoming more dangerous.

"It's beginning to have a lot of crime," she said.

The woman said she doesn't go out at night, but during working hours, it's a nice neigborhood.

"I feel safe right now since it's daylight," she said.
